Yet Another Traffic Engineering System
YATES is a software framework that enables rapid prototyping and evaluation of traffic engineering systems. It is open source under a GNU LGPLv3 license.
Getting started
Installation:
Quick start:
-
Install OPAM
-
Switch to OCaml version 4.06.0 or greater:
opam switch 4.06.0 -

For more details and complete install, please read the installation guide.
Note: YATES needs Gurobi to be installed to solve linear programs. Please follow this guide to install Gurobi and make sure that you have a valid license.
Using YATES
An example run that evaluates performance of ECMP with Internet2's Abilene backbone network.
$ yates data/topologies/abilene.dot \
data/demands/actual/abilene.txt data/demands/predicted/abilene.txt \
data/hosts/abilene.hosts -ecmp
The usage page describes how to use YATES to evaluate TE systems in more detail.
Extending YATES
If you would like to use YATES to prototype new TE system(s), please see an example on extending YATES.
